Thoughts unguarded

On October 8, 2017 By AlexaIn Events, Fashion, Furniture, Gacha, General, HomeLeave a comment

Goodbye weekend. I didn’t anticipate making a second post, but as I’m organizing my thoughts and posts for this coming week it seemed like something to do. I am showcasing the light set from DRD’s Shadowbox Series. The set contains six pieces of bathroom decor. Now if you’re not familiar with the Shadowbox subscriber boxes, please visit their web site to learn more about it as each box contains a light and dark set. The dark set this month is a little more than my brain can handle, so you might have to peruse the Flickr stream to get a look at the items in that set.

The couch with pillow decor is by [ zerkalo ], which is an older release that is discounted for the Le Six Event. The table and items on it are newer items that were previously release and can now be found at the main store.

I’m also featuring the bra and panties that I’m wearing by VoluptasVirtualis, which are at this round of Kinky Monthly. There are six colors available for you to choose from, so visit the event to get your kinky on.

Have a great one!

Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day for us here in America. Normally it’s a relaxing day for us and usually we do a cookout, though not this year. My siblings are further away now with making moves to other states, so getting together isn’t as easy. That aside.. today is a day of remembrance for those who served in our armed services protecting our country. In this day and age and from what we see all over the world it’s never been more important to feel blessed for those men and woman who served and those who serve now.

I wish everyone a fantastic and peaceful day wherever you are. Today’s post is all about Cosmopolitan. If you’re not familiar with this event, it’s one that takes place every two week bringing you an array of new releases in clothes, furniture, poses and everything that makes our lives here in Second Life a little more enjoyable. This round will end on June 4th, so you still have time to grab some fabulous goodies.

Enjoy the rest of your day!!

Sitting waiting wishing

On March 6, 2017 By AlexaIn Events5 Comments

Just days away from one of the most popular events in Second Life, the Skin Fair, which is presented by Pale Girl Productions and Esode. It is set to start on March 10th and will last until the 26th. I’m so excited to be showing you some previews in the coming days, both on this blog and my other blog Alexa’s Fantasy Wardrobe.

Today I am featuring a skin by Birth, which is not a skin maker that I was familiar until a recent gacha purchase. Freya is available in 8 tones, with a browless option, or eyebrows in black, brown, blonde and red. There is a bento shape included and while appliers have been tailor made to fit Catwa’s ‘Catlyn’ bento mesh head, it can and works well with others as I am using it on Catwa Tumble.

I’m also featuring the tattoo by Arise, called the Joa, which comes with appliers for TMP, Belleza, Maitreya, Omega and layers for classic avatars. I’m also wearing a top and skirt by Scandalize, available now at Cosmopolitan. I am really taking a liking to this creator’s designs as it fits my personal taste.

The last items being showcased are the landscape by Little Branch and pose used. The Spring Winds trees in the background are at the current round of FaMESHed. The pose that I used was perfect to show both the skin and the tattoo, and it’s by Corpus and part of their Random Series 2 set and available at the upcoming round of The Liaison Collaborative that opens tomorrow on March 7th.

Below credits, if you click on the Skin Fair logo, you will be taken directly to the website where you can get more information on the event.

Have a fabulous one!

Ingenue for 21Shoe

On February 18, 2015 By AlexaIn Events, Home2 Comments

Just a few days before the new round of Shoe21 is here and today I am showing one of the set of shoes that will be sold only in the 24-hours that Shoe21 takes place. These oxford shoes are by Ingenue and are made to fit with the flat feet from either SLink avatar enhancement women’s flat mesh feet, Belleza mesh body flat feet and Maitreya mesh body flat feet. The shoes come with the option to change the center upper and tongue texture by just wearing the HUD that is included and touching the fabric that you would like to wear. I’ve included the creator’s ad to show you the fabric selection.

Check out the Shoe21 website as the day approaches so that you can see some other great shoes that will only be sold during the one day shoe event. Shoes can be purchased at the individual stores and all slurls for the stores can also be found on the website.

Just showing another ideal winter scene, even though I would wager shoveling snow doesn’t look this easy. I can’t say that my memory stretches far back to this age as a child to what I might have been like waiting for Christmas to arrive. Though considering that I’m known to be a little impatient at times (smirks a little) it is likely that this would probably have been me waiting and thinking… when are you going to get here Santa!

Happy Thursday!

Coffee O’Clock

On May 7, 2014 By AlexaIn Home2 Comments

“Life’s too short to drink cheap coffee.”

Today I am combining something new with some previous buys, most of which are gacha items from past events. Aphrodite Shops has released a new mesh fully animated coffee machine that has on and off sounds and a coffee beans container. It dispenses a dozen of different gourmet coffees. It comes with the new automatic attachment system that I like, that doesn’t create items in your inventory. The set comes with a dozen decorative cups that are rezzable and also decorative sugar bags. The cookie platter is also part of the set and on touch dispenses cookies. Those little details in a product matter to me — especially when you want to have an interactive experience.

After looking at those cookies it really makes me want to have something sweet in real.

Lesson 41

On March 13, 2014 By AlexaIn Events2 Comments

“We’re all human and we all goof. Do things that may be wrong, but do something.” ~ Newt Gingrich

I couldn’t help and use this quote, because it perfectly fits these pictures of goofing off while in the office and by rights, totally wrong if it’s against office policy. Perhaps your experience is different to mine. I don’t know of too many companies that allow you to take the phone off the hook, sit back and recline to watch a movie on the computer and my favorite of all… to have a buttocks planter?

I wouldn’t advice anyone to indulge in the activities above — unless you want to take a forced week off. Smiles.

Lesson 41: Take the Week Off!

Congratulations! Your assignment this week is to take a week off. Simply acknowledge all the great work you’ve done so far and luxuriate in your free time. Have fun!

Your Self-Love Assignment

Bask in What You’ve Accomplished! This is a week to bask in the glory of what you’ve already accomplished. If you encounter any resistance to giving yourself time off, breathe in, and remind yourself that you deserve it!

See you next week.

Lesson 33

On January 9, 2014 By AlexaIn Events, Home7 Comments

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I love many of her quotes, because they embody such strength and are always full of wisdom.

Lesson 33: Choose Powerful Interpretations

Despite how it seems, it’s never the events of our lives that cause us pain or suffering. It’s what we make those incidents mean about us that either builds or diminishes our self-love. Having someone not return your smile or your phone call, for example, may not necessarily upset you, but how you interpret these situations will very likely influence the way you feel about yourself.

Each interpretation we make either adds to the quality of our life or takes away from it. This week, choose powerful interpretations!

Your Self-Love Assignment

Think of one situation or circumstance from your past that you’ve deemed painful, embarrassing, or hurtful. Notice how you interpreted this event by examining what you made it mean about you.

Now invent three positive interpretations of this occurrence that would leave you feeling powerful and strong, rather than weak and victimized.

Pick the interpretation that makes you feel the best about yourself – the one that most nurtures your soul and feeds your self-love.

Write this interpretation down on a sticky note or an index card, and read it to yourself every day this week.

Self-Love Points Earned

Give yourself 50 points every time you choose a powerful interpretation.
